[quote=Anonymous]Some tools you'll need: shovel (large if you buy a hydrangea and a small hand one for planting herbs), a rake for fall (large one and small narrow one if leaves fall between bushes), pruning shears (small hand ones and if you have thicker branches you'll need to prune then large ones), and garden gloves.  I can't really advise you on the larger items like a mower (but electric sounds good to me) or weed wacker.  You might want a tarp if you will be hauling your leaves off somewhere.  Sometimes a wheelbarrow, bucket, or large round lightweight hamper sort of shaped thing comes in handy for collecting sticks or leaves, and some large garden hands to help scoop up leaves.  You might want a leaf blower but they are noisy and pollute the air.  Or you might just want to hire someone in the fall to deal with the leaves if you get a lot.  I think I would start small and just buy tools as you need them.  Figure out how much sun you get in certain areas of your yard before you buy plants.  I try to plant perennials so they come back every year.[/quote]
